Selling the illusion of access: Devon Archer testifies about Hunter Biden’s use of his father’s ‘brand’ - Lemmy.ca

Curious how none of these Republican house committee members gave a damn when everyone of Trump‘s children did this for four years. Now they suddenly have a problem with Hunter Biden doing it?

Give me a fucking break 

So is it bad or not? It’s either wrong for both or neither.
This isn’t strictly true, but even if it were, do you see anyone on the democratic side opening investigations into the Trump kids doing this?
No, and why aren’t they?
This implies that the republicans had a good idea, which should have given you pause for thought in and of itself.
You don’t think there should’ve been an investigation of Trump’s daughter and son-in-law using their father’s role to profit?

Nepotism isn’t actually illegal (though it’d be nice if it were)

You can’t prosecute someone based on laws you feel should exist. That’s what fascists do.

If you have issues with this sort of thing (which happens at all levels of politics and business, not just with Trump and Biden), then you should write your representative about it and advocate for new laws to be made.

Hell, id cosign that letter, but I wouldn’t advocate for the prosecution of someone based on laws that don’t exist, not even the Trumps (though I do happily advocate the many prosecutions underway for the things they’ve done that are genuinely illegal)

Actually it is illegal for the president to hire family members. There was a law passed that says exactly that.
Is that true? Then how did Trump have his whole family employed during his presidency? I’m sure the democrats wouldn’t have just let that go
I'm not sure. But it is true. Google president nepotism law.
This DOJ opinion letter from the day the orange took office argues that the president is exempt from the nepotism law when filling Whitehouse positions, so it may not be as law as wed assume.
